The aim of the Histology course, which is one of the Basic Health Sciences and examines cells, tissues, and organs at the microscopic level, is to emphasize the meaning and importance of histology; to provide information about the histological characteristics of the four fundamental tissues; and to enable students who will work in the field of health sciences to distinguish normal histological structures in order to understand pathological changes. It also aims to develop a professional perspective and interpretation skills in this field. Another objective of the course is to define the scope of the science of embryology, to explain the maturation of reproductive cells, fertilization, and implantation processes at the beginning of embryological development, and to clarify which organ systems the germ layers differentiate into during early development.
This course covers the most commonly used techniques in histology and their application principles; the definition of the cell, their shapes, sizes, cytoplasm, organelles, and the fine structure and functions of the nucleus; the definition of tissue, the main tissue types, their microscopic structure and functions; and the early weeks of embryological development.
| Lec. Şengül ŞENTÜRK |
| 1. | Defines the science of histology, summarizes its historical development, understands its importance, analyzes its relationship with other scientific fields, and is able to identify the basic equipment and microscopes used in the histology laboratory. |
| 2. | Defines the cells that make up histological tissues and distinguishes them using examples. Is able to describe the morphological features of the cell membrane, cytoplasm (organelles, cytoskeleton, and inclusions), and nucleus; explain their functions; and interpret their interrelationships. Additionally, is able to convey fundamental information about the cell cycle and cell division. |
| 3. | To be able to define the four basic histological tissues and explain how they are classified. |
| 4. | To define epithelial tissue, explain its characteristics and functions, and classify it as covering and glandular epithelium. To identify the locations of covering epithelium and describe its microscopic features. To define glandular epithelium, classify it, and analyze its microscopic structure. |
| 5. | To define supporting tissue, explain its functions, and classify it into its four subtypes. To define connective tissue and explain its structural components and microscopic features. To distinguish the cells of blood tissue and explain their functions. To describe the structure and formation of cartilage tissue and explain its microscopic characteristics. To define the structure of bone tissue and explain its formation and classification. |
| 6. | To describe the microscopic and cellular characteristics of smooth muscle tissue, identify its distribution in the body, and explain its function. To examine striated muscle tissue histologically and define its features, as well as explain the contraction–relaxation mechanism. To describe the cellular structure of cardiac muscle tissue, distinguish its microscopic features, and explain its function. |
| 7. | To define nervous tissue, describe the structure of the nerve cell, explain the general characteristics of the nervous system, and classify it. To define the structure of the central nervous system and explain its functions and microscopic features. To describe the structure of the peripheral nervous system and explain its functions and microscopic characteristics. |
| 8. | To define the male and female reproductive organs and their histology. To explain oogenesis and spermatogenesis. |
| 9. | To understand the processes of fertilization and implantation. |
| 10. | To explain the differentiation of the germ layers. |
